'''Furin''' or '''proprotein convertase furin''' or '''dibasic-processing enzyme''' or '''paired basic amino acid residue-cleaving enzyme''' or '''PACE''' is a member of the proprotein convertase family and promotes the proteoplytic maturation of proproteins.  Furin cleaves precursor proteins at their paired basic amino acid processing sites<ref>PMID:12360192</ref>.
